Hello Team,
The issue has been resolved. I was installing the entire setup on the Virtual Box machine (Version 6.1.26). Currently, I have experimented on a dedicated base system (Ubuntu 18.04, latest VMWare, latest Vagrant products).

Thank you 😊

Can anyone please guide me, Why I was not able to install the entire setup on Virtual Box Machine and the meaning of that error (mentioned above) 🤔 ?

Thank you

@Yuvraj-Takey Hi there, my apologies for the very delayed response to your question. The reason you were encountering that error is due to VirtualBox not having nested virtualization available (or disabled). This means that VMware is unable to run within the VirtualBox guest and any attempts to start a VMware backed virtual machine will fail as the virtual hardware will report that virtualization is not supported.

For everyone else commenting on the error with regards to macOS and apple silicon, please refer to #53 and my comment here

Cheers!
